Actress Portia De Rossi, who once played the role of Nell on the hit TV show Ally McBeal, is reportedly blaming working with a then skeletoral looking Calista Flockhart on the fact that she became an 82 pound anorexic back in 1999. Speaking with Vogue for their April issue, De Rossi said, "I've often wondered if I wasn't on that show if it (anorexia) may not have happened. I didn't really know at that point what it was like to be a celebrity, and the only people I knew at the time who had a similar experience were these women whom I worked with. They became my role models." Although she was not new to acting, I seem to recall Courtney Thorne-Smith saying the same type of thing when she got all disgustingly skinny after working on Ally Mc Beal. De Rossi decided to tell the world about her struggle now (not that it wasn't obvious to everyone back in 1999) after many talks and support from her girlfriend, Ellen DeGeneres. Man, I am so glad Portia got healty, because she looks so much better now...I just wish she would come out and say if Calista Flockhart is also to blame for her skinny, horrible strange colored looking eyebrows.
